I recall him being a passionate Libertarian. Particularly one of the "screw the poor" school Yeah, but he's softened over the years, and he's something of an equal-opportunity ass. He murdered Reagan when he was in office, but mostly for overspending :-p Posts: 999 \| Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00
The Matrix in General
Djur Revolutions Babelicious Member # 3149	written Saturday, November 15 2003 22:34 Profile Homepage #24 If you watch the Matrix DVD, the commentary has the directors explaining which part of the movie corresponds to which part of Plato's Cave. :-p At least Matrix I was directly based on Plato.

C in General
Djur Revolutions Babelicious Member # 3149	written Saturday, November 15 2003 09:41 Profile Homepage #5 Actually, C# is somewhat cross-platform. It's available for both Windows and Unix, and works mostly the same on both platforms. C is omnipresent, but not altogether uniform across those platforms. It's also too unsafe and low-level for a beginning programmer. Ruby is an excellent cross-platform language, but its syntax is just a little bit too pragmatic. It's a nice language if you're familiar with at least three other languages: Python, Perl, and Smalltalk. Smalltalk is an excellent language -- the ultimate object-based language. The problem with using Smalltalk for tutelage is the vast difference in paradigm between it and more marketable languages. The same applies to LISP and Scheme to some extent; although they are great languages (same with Haskell and ML), learning functional programming from the start may reduce your chances of effectively using imperative languages. Perl is very likely the most useful language in the entire world, but its syntax is so incredibly idiosyncratic and loose that it breeds awful, awful programmers. Perl is definitely a language you should only learn once you've learned good habits from other languages. Python is very likely the greatest language in the entire world. :-p There are parts of its syntax I dislike, and its library is a bit inconsistent compared to most standardized languages, but it's a cross-platform interpreted language with strict grammar. The only issue with starting off with a language as great as Python is that you might feel crippled if you're forced to work with C or C++. I use Python to develop Pygmalion, and it hasn't failed me yet. Yes, it's slower than compiled code, but there are situations in which that isn't important. One of those situations is for education. http://www.python.org/ -------------------- You are my precious thing Thing of speed and beauty, You are my precious thing As long as you remain beneath me -- Big Black Posts: 999 \| Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00

Djur Revolutions Babelicious Member # 3149	written Saturday, November 15 2003 09:23 Profile Homepage #26 Howard Dean is a liar and a fraud. He waffles like a busy Denny's on the Iraq war, and he's claimed responsibility for bills he simply signed. The Democrats' best choice is Dennis Kucinich, who's basically similar to Dean in policy, except that he doesn't waffle and is more honest. Also, he's cute. :-p quote: Originally written by X: Perhaps Aarrow Swift could cite a WORSE president since 1900, or any example of Bush Jnr behaving at all bravely or intelligently.

here is something to think about in General
Djur Revolutions Babelicious Member # 3149	written Saturday, November 15 2003 09:20 Profile Homepage #6 64a. Care at the Beginning What lies still is easy to grasp; What lies far off is easy to anticipate; What is brittle is easy to shatter; What is small is easy to disperse. Yet a tree broader than a man can embrace is born of a tiny shoot; A dam greater than a river can overflow starts with a clod of earth; A journey of a thousand miles begins at the spot under one's feet. Therefore deal with things before they happen; Create order before there is confusion. 76. Flexibility A newborn is soft and tender, A crone, hard and stiff. Plants and animals, in life, are supple and succulent; In death, withered and dry. So softness and tenderness are attributes of life, And hardness and stiffness, attributes of death. Just as a sapless tree will split and decay So an inflexible force will meet defeat; The hard and mighty lie beneath the ground While the tender and weak dance on the breeze above. --- Tao Te Ching (Merel) -------------------- You are my precious thing Thing of speed and beauty, You are my precious thing As long as you remain beneath me -- Big Black Posts: 999 \| Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00

Djur Revolutions Babelicious Member # 3149	written Friday, November 14 2003 21:55 Profile Homepage #19 Wait. You're not allowed to say bad things about the President? Then how will anyone know how to vote? If the President is wrong, you should say so. If the President is right, you should say so. Just because he's the chief doesn't make him infalliable or inviolable. Honestly, whether Dubya is intelligent or not is totally irrelevant. His policy is straight out of the New American Century handbook, and his cabinet is right out of its commissioners. You don't need to be intelligent to execute a master plan; you just need to have the ability to manipulate, which Dubya has in quantity. And nearly every word in Sir David's posts is soaked in kerosene. [ Friday, November 14, 2003 22:05: Message edited by: Conspiracy Duck ] Posts: 999 \| Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00

The Matrix in General
Djur Revolutions Babelicious Member # 3149	written Tuesday, November 11 2003 17:34 Profile Homepage #14 quote: Originally written by Majordomo: quote: Originally written by Morgan: Hating to defend the Matrix trilogy - however, the human body is a very effective energy transferer. If you have a suitable amount of energy in nutrients, then one of the best ways to get that energy would be through our bodies. That's simply not true. One of my friends did a thesis on the energy economy of the human body, and we rank WELL below most of man's machines - including the original steam engine, made by Stephens. It's one of the big reasons The Matrix has always pissed me off, it's entire reason for existance is flawed. Why couldn't the computers just give everyone a frontal labotomy anyway? Why even give humans a world to live in? Just keep them all in permanent, life-long comas. Sheesh. Damn stupid computers, they're too humane. Md. If you ask me, it works better if you figure that Morpheus was wrong, and the Matrix is actually a distributed computer system researching protein folding. Or maybe their brains are being used to store pirated robot porn videos. Posts: 999 \| Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00
Pygmalion Graphics - A Call For Help in General
Djur Revolutions Babelicious Member # 3149	written Monday, November 10 2003 10:21 Profile Homepage #19 I didn't intend to say that. Hell, SW doesn't even use 32x32 tiles. What I mean is that I can't use things like color changes or tiles that use portions of Spiderweb's art. For example, Brett Bixler has a very attractive jungle terrain set; you might remember it from Masks. Problem is, although it's mostly original, some pieces of it do use SW art (doors, etc.). This prevents me from using these pieces of art. Posts: 999 \| Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00
